Reflections & lessons on marriage as we celebrate our 7th anniversary | RachReflects Episode 16

for over a year, at first it was difficult and I had to tell you that too, right? um and you really stepped up and became that rock for the family, right, yeah, and I think it's not about scarring either, you know, oh, I've been 70 for the last six months or whatever, right. , I think it's also just really understanding that there are applications and flows in a relationship and knowing that this is a time where Leo is 30 and he really needs me and I'm going to step up and vice versa, so I think not It is realistic to expect a relationship. always be like 50 50 and that's where we draw the line and he'll always give his 50 and I always have to give my 50 anything emotionally, mentally and financially so I think it's really recognizing that there will be seasons of 80 20 70 30 60 40 whatever and you just have to accept it and know that you know these seasons will come and go and there will be a time when you will be down and you will need to know your partner to cover you and step in for you so I think these are them. some of the

lessons

we have learned through our reflection on our journey.

Until now we were still on this journey. There are still so many ups and downs and challenges that we are trying our best to overcome and at the same time. I feel like you know the most important thing is to be very intentional, know our own growth and our growth as a couple and support each other through it Leo, do you have anything else?words in life uh you know it's you never know a straight path there always We always count all the obstacles and obstacles in the way uh and

marriage

uh is exactly what you always say right, it's um, it's not a marathon, right? a marathon Leo is not a Sprint oh yes it's okay Nicole please stop that it's okay if you leave it no but like we say your

marriage

is not the spring it's a marathon and I really always believe that marriage is difficult.

It really takes work, two constantly evolving people who come together and are committed to the same vision and mission in their lives, in their families. I think it really takes a lot of work and intention, but there's also a lot of joy that comes from, you know, the union is also right and I think one of the things that we couldn't really add to the list was surrounding ourselves with couples who have marriages. solid or solid values ​​and I think that's something that Leo and I are very intentional about that we'll put ourselves in the presence or in the company of couples, you know that we respect, that we love, that we honor, that we've seen, wow, they actually represent a such good value, as you meet a partner, a husband, a wife. and together too your marriage is strong when we firmly say no, it doesn't mean it's perfect but it is strong, it is rooted in the right values ​​that we want to be able to have too and we intentionally surround ourselves with people as your mentors.

Inevitably, they have also influenced and infected us. Thank you so much for tuning in again for another
